Nias - "Without You"
Nias is a songwriter / producer
born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. He
started writing songs as a preteen. From
the beginning, he liked fusing various influences into his music, R&B, Pop,
Reggae, and Folk. He started writing
songs first, and only began singing as a way to showcase his material. He later
discovered that he possessed a five octave vocal range. His production style emerges out of this same
philosophy of creating a "sonic masala", or combining various
influences. Like those he admires
artistically, Sade, Paper Aeroplanes, Lauren Hill, and Calvin Harris; one hears
a synergistic blend of various influences within this writer / producer's
music.
Currently, Nias
is focused on branding his new company "Nias Intellectual Properties".
He wants to bring his synergistic, vocally driven, catalogue to the right film
and advertising projects, and leave his musical signature on the growing
digital music landscape.
This particular
offering Without You (Acoustic) was never meant to
be a traditional radio hit. As it was developing Nias states: “I tried to
let it mature organically. I felt all these influences pulling at me, jazz,
classical, and at the core an R&B song. So, in production, I trusted those creative
instincts and this sensual, simple, but classy arrangement emerged. It
borrows from the past; but is unmistakably a current production".
For the music fan,
it definitely leaves one wanting more of this tantalizing signature of musical
spices.
Bon appetite! "Without
you" with its acoustic treatment tastes like more!
